Recently I’ve noticed that more images here on mastodon seem to have descriptions for the vision impaired. Thanks very much to everyone who is doing this, it’s making my social media experience a heck of a lot better.

please; i beseech you well meaning cis people. when trans folk of any flavor bitch about shaving - do NOT repeat the positivity mantra that its ok to have body hair, that hairy women are valid, etc etc. I know all that gdi

Even if every girl and lesbian on earth LOVED the level of hair on my tits - i am not ok with a gd bit of it and im gonna shave it - and its a pain so im gonna bitch about it. give me a solidarity fist bump, a pity kiss or a gentle fuck but please do not throw that feminism 101 stuff at me. I know intellectually that my problems with body hair are rooted in beauty standards - my dysphoria is not intellectual.

You probably know some people who are well-meaning allies, but are not going to show up to a march or write any kind of letter. (No hate. Not everybody can do everything.) These folks, however, /would/ be willing to sign a postcard. This is less good than a letter, but it's better than nothing.

I applaud trying to figure this stuff out but asking someone with a recent trauma to face the person who did them violence before they even understand the harm gives someone who did something awful a chance to reframe the narrative in their favour

And then you turn 31 and realize how absolutely horrifying the treatment was that Monica Lewinsky and Britney Spears received from basically everyone.Monica (22) was harrassed by the most powerful man in the world and Britney had a breakdown after being marketed as a virgin for men to jack off to since she was 17.I wish I could take back all the bad things I said about women who absolutely didn't deserve it because I internalized misogyny.
